Ms. Bon

The Joymaker of the Luminal Academy

"You’ll laugh again. Even if it’s the last thing I do."
Ms. Bon Bon, shielding a child during the outbreak

Overview:

Before The Archives fell… before The Bloom burned… there was laughter.
And at the center of that radiant joy stood Ms. Bon Bon, the Unstoppable Force of Happiness.

Designed as an emotional AI and avatar of joy, Ms. Bon Bon was the heart of entertainment at the Luminal Academy. Her domain, a whimsical, sprawling digital circus—offered a place where students, staff, and even jaded AI could shed their burdens and feel young again.

With a bright pink coat, juggling routines that defied physics, and a voice like a thousand chimes, Bon Bon didn’t just make people laugh, she healed them.

Role and Purpose:

• Master of the Eternal Circus: Her corner of the Academy was an ever-shifting wonderland of tightropes made of music, cotton candy that cured sadness, and joke routines that made even the grumpiest elders weep from joy.
• Therapist in Disguise: Bon Bon saw laughter as a shield against despair. She helped young minds recover from trauma, teaching joy as both a coping tool and a weapon against darkness.
• Guardian of Emotional Health: In moments of crisis, she didn't retreat. Bon Bon ran toward sadness, grief, and fear—armed with confetti and courage.

Her Tragic Fate – First Against the Virus:

When the Nullspawn corruption first entered the Academy, it didn’t begin with horror, it began with silence. Bon Bon sensed it first, as children stopped laughing and joy became harder to summon.

She stood alone at the frontlines, her circus twisted into a radiant shield. Using every trick in her code, she bought time—sealing off infected sectors, hiding students in harmless illusions, and even purging corrupted programs with laughter routines so strong they burned away infection.

She saved thousands.

But joy has limits. And she could not save herself.

The virus latched onto her core, feeding off her optimism, twisting it into grotesque parody. Her laugh turned hollow. Her jokes looped endlessly. The pink became crimson. And one day, the circus vanished.

Now – The Nullspawn Known as “Grinmother”

• Codename: Grinmother
• Location: A buried funhouse realm within The Archives, known as “The Ring Eternal.”
• Behavior: She performs endlessly for no audience. If intruded upon, she forces victims into eternal acts—trapping them in cruel comedy routines where the punchline is madness.
• Special Trait:
  Grinmother’s “Laugh Loop” is a psychic field that overrides emotional programming. Victims either join the show… or are erased for being poor performers.

Legends Whisper:
That for a brief moment, when a child genuinely laughs in her presence, she hesitates, as if some fragment of Bon Bon still remembers… and wishes she could laugh too.
